Bio: Thumper might appear younger then most of his generation and thats this runners greatest asset, his body was not ravaged with age and he maintained some of his youth though I am unsure how. Thumper is a cross trained mercenary and rigger, this man has seen the absolute worst the world can throw at him and his friends but yet he still holds some hope for the future even if it’s bleak. Thumper used to work exclusively alongside Fable and was privileged to receive the hallowed messages and warnings from him, do to working with Fable Thumper has had interactions with most of the other originals, though most of them look at him as their younger brother this Thumper doesn’t mind and is fine with being in the shadows of the legends. Since he knows he is legend in his own right, he is the first man to blend the art of being a Rigger and Samurai, this cross training has become popular with the riggers of the later generations and Thumper is responsible for this. He is as well been on some very legendary jobs back in those early days including the famed Pentagon raid, when a group of Seattle’s finest not only infiltrated the FDC they struck the Pentagon and stole some very classified documents, and hardware. These runners as well assassinated three of the joint chiefs and the secretary of defence a man by the name of Ronald Young, their actions on that day brought to the attention of the national media the craft of being a shadowrunner and as well brought forth some of the strictest laws regarding cyberware, firearms, electronic warfare technology and advanced cyber decks.

       Thumper was highly paid for this shadow opp and so where the other runners on this team, this also is the job that let the employer learn the valuable lesson of never trust the runners. Before this operation the employer and employee relations where understood, this job proved otherwise the runners involved not only accepted payment for completion, they killed the Johnson and stole his credit stick and kept the hardware and data for themselves. These runners made off with millions, and so became the rule of the Johnson will always try to screw the runner in some manner. The old timers involved in this legendary job were Thumper, Iceman, Fable, Accountant, Ringmaster, Stamps, Gunslinger and Banker. So when you see one of these men you can thank them for making the world of being a runner so difficult, Thumper vanished into the wind shortly after that job.

       He showed his ugly mug once again within the ranks of the Sons of the True Confederacy to aid in there rebellion against the UCAS and Treaty of Denver. Even though the Civil war was long over by this point and the CAS was born, fighting continued and Thumper felt that he could aid in defence he was heading Fables warning of the winds and felt this was the best place for him to fade into. Thumper has been loyal to the SOTC ever since and continues to press on believing that once the fighting is done the America’s can be one or at least at peace with each other, though he knows thats a long shot and he will be content once the NAN and Aztlan are no more.

       Thumper has recently returned to Seattle and he doesn’t look as if he has aged on  bit from when he was last seen, whatever he is doing here in Seattle can’t be good and the SOTC must be up to something to release Thumper upon us again. General O’Brian might be at a disadvantage here since he has never dealt with the likes of Thumper before. This runner is definitely going to be a wild card in O’Brian cleaning up the streets, Thumper has proven time and time again that he has no fear and is willing to crawl into the belly of the beast if need be. I can only hope that he is captured quickly before he becomes one with the shadows again.
